Ingredients- 1 paper cup (microwave-safe)
- 1/2 slice of bread
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 strip of bacon
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese
- A small amount of mozzarella cheese
- A pinch of parsley flakes (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing a microwave-safe paper cup. To ensure your egg bread releases easily, grease the inside of the cup thoroughly with cooking oil. If you have a pastry brush, use it to apply a thin layer. If not, a paper towel lightly soaked in oil will work perfectly. This step is key to a clean, beautiful finished product.
Step 2
Take half a slice of bread and shape it to fit snugly inside the greased paper cup, covering the bottom and sides. This bread base will provide a wonderful texture to your egg bread.
Step 3
Carefully crack one fresh egg directly into the paper cup, on top of the bread. Gently prick the yolk with a toothpick or the tip of a chopstick to break it. This allows the egg to cook more evenly, resulting in a creamier texture.
Step 4
Cut one strip of bacon into small, bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle the bacon pieces over the egg. The savory flavor of the bacon will meld beautifully with the egg and cheese. Feel free to adjust the amount of bacon to your liking.
Step 5
Slice one piece of cheddar cheese and place it on top of the bacon. The melting cheddar will add a rich, satisfying flavor to your egg bread.
Step 6
Generously sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over the cheddar cheese. For an extra touch of color and aroma, add a pinch of dried parsley flakes on top. It’s not only visually appealing but also adds a lovely herbaceous note.
Step 7
Place the prepared paper cup into your microwave. Heat on high for about 1 minute. The egg should be cooked through and the cheese nicely melted. Microwave times can vary, so check after 1 minute and add another 10-20 seconds if needed until perfectly cooked.
Step 8
Your delicious microwave egg bread is ready! Carefully remove it from the microwave and gently unmold it from the paper cup. Slice it in half to reveal the perfectly cooked egg, melted cheese, and savory bacon – it looks and smells amazing! Enjoy this quick, satisfying, and homemade treat.
